Holding your fresh stuff in you trolley wont work it will have to have a yellow sticker.

Store that close for St Stephen's day will have better reduction, for example of 150 units of party food prawn trays are going out of date on the 26th of dec, then they will have to be reduced on x-mas eve, on a normal week the 150 would just be sold at 70 per day and maybe 10 reduced with yellow labels.

Stores that will be open on St Stephen's day will have less reduction on xmas eve but may have more on the 26th.

It all goes on date, just because its xmas eve it doesnt mean they will sell off a turkey with 3 days left on it.

Best I got was a whole salmon for €5 a few years ago before the local store started opening on the 26th.

Don't want to sound like a grinch but I wouldn't have those if they were giving them away since Zed candy closed the Oatfield factory in Letterkenny and moved production to England

Sound like staff vouchers . Instead of a Xmas bonus , staff get a little book of tokens

sassa

definitely not a staff thing got one in the post last week they were valid until the 19th.

irishbloke77

Yep, got those vouchers too. A certain amount off when you spend over 50euros. There was 1 voucher for each of the last 4 weeks.

As its in your trolley it is 'reserved' so you are not battling with the grabbers. .

I was there last year with my dad and got a few punnets of grapes, a turkey crown and a reduced to clear ham - All 70% off.

We turned our back on the trolley and the turkey and ham were "nicked" by another shopper. I spotted the shopper at the tills with her family and questioned why did they take my stuff - they all suddenly became mute - then I became very embarrased about my own behaviour.

Good luck to you all in the meat section - I'll be giving it a miss this year

Claremorris: My Little Pony Princess Celestica is marked reduced to €17.99 on the shelf, but is scanning at €5.50. About 8 or 9 of them left. MLP Princess Cadence is reduced to €17.99, but she is still €24.49 in my local favourite toystore, so she is still a bargain. HTH.

Your 3rd photo, I am pretty sure that was 299 in Oranmore before Christmas, I could be wrong and gave no idea of the model, but they had a 32" Samsung for 299.

Currys have the same Samsung on sale too at €399
Toshiba is an end of line model going for €379 in HN, €399 in powercity and also in DID for €420

Samsung PLASMA has better refresh rate, probably better brand of the 2 also.
Sadly she's not full hd and only has 2 hdmi ports whereas Toshiba is full hd, runs saorview and has 4 hdmi.

For size and functionality, Toshiba for €379 isn't all that bad, TBH. :cool:

Disagree. Toshiba is 50hz so sports will show shadows. Plasma wins for me.

Few of the speakers for 61c back in midleton great value but say you better be fast selling fast

Thats probably usually the case, but I had said in that post

It is not like it has to be relabeled with those yellow stickers, it is often done automatically (though you will see stuff with the yellow labels too).

I expect many mainly do the stickers too, I have seen this blanket announcement with no stickers a few times before, not just christmas eve

It all goes on date, just because its xmas eve it doesnt mean they will sell off a turkey with 3 days left on it.

Mine was open stephens day. on 24th there must have been about 40-50 regular fresh turkeys down to €10 from I think €28-20. And about 10-15 finest organic free range ones down to about €15 depending on weight.

I am not sure of use by dates, where I did see them they were all reduced, with the stickers.

Thing is they might have no hope of selling turkey after christmas, so sell it off regardless of date. I expect they have very little demand for it during the year, and expect people would be sick of it right after christmas. Its a pretty crap meat in fairness, its like its almost taboo to mention it, but I can understand the lack of demand. Many people seem delighted if their turkey ends up palatable! its like they are presuming the worst and not expecting much. Of course some will go on about cooking it right and that it is grand meat, but how many times do those people buy one during the year? and if you say that's because its big & takes long to cook -well that's part & parcel of the crapiness of it. I don't think I have ever heard of comments along the lines of "wow, I forgot how great turkey is, maybe we should get one next month when all those people are coming over".

Of course it is a risk to bet there will be turkey on offer on the last day, but many could not care less, its not like you would go hungry, shops have other things. I wish my mother would take "the risk" and lose, and have to get an alternative for about the same price, say a nice rib eye steak or decent free range chicken.

the groutch

not exactly a bargain per se, but was in Dun Laoghaire branch today and saw 6 pk of Pepsi for €2, went to self service, scanned at €4.19.
paid for it, and then went to customer services, invoked their double the difference policy, got myself free pepsi AND 38c.

liamnojo92

I thought they got rid of that I bought a toblerone that was supposed to be €2.49 but scanned at €4.99 I went to customer service and only got the advertised price.

did you actually pay for it and then go to customer service, or did you alert customer service before paying? if it was the latter then they just have to honour the correct price, if it was the former they should refund you.

liamnojo92

I had to go to the desk and specifically asked "does that mean i get it or something "just trying my luck and she said no we don't do that anymore,maybe she pocketed my 2.49 lol.

tatli_lokma

yeah, but did you pay and then go to the desk or did you just ask her before paying?

liamnojo92

I payed first, noticed the wrong price then went to the customer service desk.I used the self service so there was no cashier.

the groutch

maybe it has changed and I got lucky with who I dealt with?

Yawns

They seemed to have changed the policy months ago but some stores offer different policies or the staff just don't know / care very much. My bet is on the latter.

Just as a note how did you get double the difference if all you got was the cans for free and 38c? Was it a typo? You should have got 4.38 and free cans if it was double the difference.
